What you must know about longcase 30 hour clock parts
* A pendulum clock work fine only if they are set up on a surface that is level. This is a straightforward point but it is vital.
When setting the grandfather clock next to the wall you may observe that the rug is not uniformly thick. Or maybe the the floor is not uniform at the wall junction.
If the case lists in one direction it is essential to even it out.
* Pendulums have separate front and back faces. The pendulums front is usually the the flat side.
The pendulum of the grandfather clock must remain clear of the sides of the case. If it hits the case it may mean that that the case is not vertical.
* The assembly of weights that actuate the mechanism should be free of the pendulum. They should hit the pendulum or the sides of the walls as they descend.
* When you start the pendulum in motion listen carefully for a steady tick tock sound. The beat should be regular and evenly spaced.
If the ticking sound is irregular that could be because the clock is not standing vertically. Try to make the case stand right and adjust as required.
* When changing the time do not turn the hands of your clock backwards by more than a few minutes. And under no circumstances shift them rearwards past the twelve o clock mark.
It is fine to shift the clock hands forwards. When turning them past the twelve mark hold on till the grandfather clock is done with sounding the hour chime before you continue.
* If your clock runs fast or slow decrease or increase the length of the pendulum.
Increment the length to decelerate the clock. Shorten it to make the clock go faster.
